Toon Kid Adds Spark And Energy

Alan Pardew believes Northern Ireland defender Shane Ferguson has a big future on Tyneside. Alan Pardew: "I am a big admirer of him. "Shane gives us a bit of energy - he is positive. "You could tell we were lacking energy before he came on. "We were not bright in the mind against Swansea and Bolton - they were two tough games for us. "He wants to cross the ball and that is brilliant when you have the strikers we have. "He put a few crosses in and won us a few corners. He did his job defensively - he has a big future here."
